Types of Camps:
The majority of CIEE placements are in traditional camps—which can be co-ed or serve only female or male campers—where many different activities are offered, from arts and crafts to archery.
For many families, it’s a long-held tradition for children to attend the same summer camp their siblings, parents, or even grandparents did when they were young, creating a unique and close community atmosphere.

Girl Scout:
These camps only serve female campers and are often run in one- to two-week sessions throughout the course of the summer.

These camps focus on a sport or activity like horseback riding, sailing, or theater. Specialty camps may also serve specific populations such as campers who have ADHD or have suffered a loss.
